This will probably be last post for awhile. I ship Thursday 20050324. I would like to personally like to thank the the Rangers, SFC Hit It, and any others who contribute to this informative site. DEPS, see you soon. To all the lurkers, pay attention to detail and read, often. You will learn a lot. I ...

Good job. I ship on the 24th. Guess I'll see you at reception.

Done! Here's the scoop on my ordeal. Cleared the Hep A issue and went to MEPS to have inspect by med staff and choose job. I was told I DNQ for any infantry MOS because eyesight not correctable to 20/20 in at least one eye...No 11X, no OPT 40. The counselor and recruiter try to get me to join anyway ...

SFC Hit It/ Ranger Hoover: We must have gotten results on same day. Checked in to tell you lab says Type A. Going back to MEPS tomorrow to finish up. Thanks for assistance.

Ranger Hoover: I believe that is the reason for the med. hold-I do not know what type of Hep it was. I am awaiting lab results at this time. The MEPS Doc assumes it was Type A because I got it at a day care in Belgium. I will clarify once results are received. Thanks.

Understand SFC Hit It. Standing by. Thanks again.

Thanks for the info SFC Hit_it. Physical is scheduled @ MEPS and will brief on the results.

Thanks to everyone for the welcome. As for my boys, they live with their mother who is remarried but we are still friends for the kids. Works out well. To my commitment...I have dedicated my entire adult life to service and pulling people from collapsing, burning buildings shows that. I believe to ...

I am assuming I would need a waiver as my vision is in the 20/200 range uncorrected and from reading other posts about vision I gathered my vision was poor by Army standards. I do have correct color perception and my peripheral vision is average as well. I currently wear contacts and my vision is ...

I have read the "read first" section and understand the information contained in it. However, I have recently spoken with a recruiter and received different info. Specifically, about eyesight and the Opt 40. I told the recruiter what I read on this site but he insists I can get a waiver for my ...

Brief introduction...I currently live in AZ, 31 yo, former police officer, currently a firefighter/EMT. Divorced with two kids. No degree currently but over 70 credit hours in education. Interested in enlisting but not interested in getting bent over. Looking for good sources of advice.
